Sen. Barack Obama, perhaps giving America a preview of priorities he would pursue if elected president, is rejoicing over the Senate committee passage of a plan that could end up costing taxpayers billions of dollars in an attempt to reduce poverty in other nations.
The bill, called the Global Poverty Act, is the type of legislation, “We can – and must – make … a priority,” said Obama, a co-sponsor.
It would demand that the president develop “and implement” a policy to “cut extreme global poverty in half by 2015 through aid, trade, debt relief” and other programs

Its the Global Poverty Act….last I heard the US was part of the “globe”. The reality is, that terrorists come from impoverished parts of the globe. You rarely hear of French, English or some other European terrorists. Improving the economies of impoverished nations is in the best interest of the US.
